that cover in particular is great, though i really like the live Magpie too
Ah, those on the regular "Special Edition" too. Does the Starbucks one come bound like a book as well?― A Made Man In The Mellow Mafia (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, September 20, 2013 10:12 PM (Yesterday)
Nope. Rushed to Starbucks for the "exclusive", only to see the booklet version at Easy Street the next day for $4 more. Sad face.

I may be in the minority but most of these tunes aren't memorable, which was not the case at all with the last one.

I like the new album, though not as much as Middle Cyclone, which in my eyes stands as her best.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Saturday, 21 September 2013 03:19 (ten years ago) link
I think the Starbucks one is normally priced... Only $12.95.Aren't deluxe editions usually more?
― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Saturday, 21 September 2013 22:58 (ten years ago) link
You can get the deluxe direct from her website for $13. I myself went to my local indie shop and got hosed. OTOH they threw in a poster.

Join Neko on Halloween at 2pm EST for a live performance at NPR Music's Tiny Desk. Although she hasn't revealed what her costume will be, Neko has promised a reveal worthy of the occasion!

don't think the new one is her best work, but wow "Calling Cards" is something else.
― tylerw, Thursday, 12 December 2013 22:44 (ten years ago) link
thought of u when I realized she covers Nico's "Afraid" on this one
― sleeve, Thursday, 12 December 2013 22:58 (ten years ago) link
yeah that is good too! i don't know, it's a good record (that I'm really just getting around to) but maybe a little bit business as usual?
― tylerw, Thursday, 12 December 2013 22:59 (ten years ago) link
I agree it's probably not her best work but the highs are phenomenal.

Sorry, I thought it started off promising but I didn't have enough time to make it all the way through. Was there a monster at the end?

I like the Case/Lang/Viers stuff I've heard so far. "Atomic Number" is great.

Agreed. I'm excited for this!

I have to laugh at that song. It's supposed to be this brutal condemnation of a parent who is verbally abusive to their kid. Yet every parent I know talks like that.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 15 April 2016 05:48 (eight years ago) link
Every parent you know tells their kid(s) to get the fuck away from them and asks them why they don't ever shut up?

note: I'm not taking what you said literally, though it sounds like it. better way to ask my question is: "Really??"

that lyric is both hilarious and tragic

― Mordy, Thursday, 9 June 2016 21:21 (eight years ago) link
i wasn't really into the singles but it holds together much better as an album length. lots of really wonderful stuff going on + the 3 of them are excellent. they vary styles but i think neko's voice (literally + stylistically) comes through the strongest here.
― Mordy, Thursday, 9 June 2016 21:22 (eight years ago) link
I can't wait to spend more time with it. It's beautiful, but I do find myself looking forward to the Case-fronted ones most of all.
xp ha, yes exactly.

need to listen to this more, was not as wowed as you folks on my first listen

Likewise I'm afraid, though "Atomic Number" remains lovely.

I was *just* wondering what she was up to. Very excited, I haven't seen her live in a while, gotta catch her this time around!
She's going almost 20 years and there's no duds in her catalog, and almost every guest appearance is worthy as well.

yeah like the title track to "fox confessor brings the flood"
― It's not delivery, it's Adorno! (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 6 March 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link
I like this, almost a Rubber Soul-remembered-as-a-dream vibe about it. seems weird that her label would release it as a single/teaser (unless the rest of the album is really low key), but I already know I'll rip it for my phone when I get home.
